ROFL ... ok, it'll be our secret. <g>

Well, that kinda makes sense, given that it appears to Fill the Combo's Items when you assign the DataSource and since your DataSource goes out of scope this would be the only way to "refill" it.

Populated the list object, then changed a value of the ArrayList, and it did not change the values displayed in the list, this it appears that there is some kind of "disconnect" between the object specified in the DataSource and the control.
